Section C — Purchee concept

Purchee is a free app on your phone. When you pay at a participating retailer with a card or mobile wallet, your digital receipt automatically arrives in Purchee — no asking the cashier, no email forwarding.

Purchee also tracks return windows so you get a reminder before they close, gives you a clean view of your spending across every retailer, and lets you opt-in to relevant offers from retailers you actually shop at. Retailers never see your name unless you choose to share it.

Purchee is free for personal use. Optional paid tiers (Plus $4.99/mo, Pro $9.99/mo) add features for sole traders, families, and power users.

Q8. How interesting is Purchee to you personally?

Section D — Feature reactions

Q9. How appealing is each Purchee feature to you?

1 = not appealing, 5 = very appealing. Tick one per row.
